MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIA

摘要

The present invention is directed to oligonucleotides useful in detection, e.g., by ligase chain reaction (LCR), of target DNA from bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium, substantially without detecting bacteria of other genera. The present invention is also directed to methods of detecting target DNAs from bacteria of the genus Mycobacteria using the ligase chain reaction.
